Synopsis: Continuing the story-line which unfolded in "Kill Bill Vol. I," this is a revenge tale of an expert assassin, called The Bride, who sets out on a quest to wreak vengeance upon her former employer, Bill, and other members of their assassin circle, for shooting her on the day of her wedding--along with all The Bride's guests in attendance--and leaving her for dead. When this chapter in the story begins, The Bride will have already encountered some of her targets, having battled her way up the chain of command. So, after dispensing with former colleagues O-Ren Ishii and Vernita, she resumes her quest for justice. With those two down, the Bride has two remaining foes on her 'Death List' to pursue--Budd and Elle Driver--before moving on to her ultimate goal: to KILL BILL.

Just saw this today, and I loved it! This one's a lot more emotional than the first. I agree with you, CopperPenny, that the fight between The Bride (don't want to spoil her name of the rest of you guys) and Elle was awesome.

Do I need to watch vol. I before I go see vol. II or should I watch vol.I first? I'm always hesitant at going to sequels because I don't know if I'll be lost in a story that started in another one.

I saw volume 2 and never saw volume 1. Vol. 2 was good, Tarantino is a really great nerd-director. His dialogue sounds so "written" (no-one would speak like that) but yet his directing style and the great acting seem to carry it off ok. I thought he did a few too many of those old kung-fu movies intentionally bad quick zoom-ins. Other than that, I liked it all. Tarantino is obviously in love with this work and it shows.
